Aloys Senefelder is a 1819 by Nicolas-Henri Jacob, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a man with short, wavy hair and a serious expression. He is dressed in a dark coat with a high collar, a white shirt, and a cravat. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the darker tones of the man's clothing. The man's face is rendered in detail, with a subtle play of light and shadow that gives the impression of depth and volume. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The painting is a portrait of Aloys Senefelder, created by Nicolas Henri Jacob in 1819.
